Mr.. PANIN, the Americsnized Russian,
thinks that we have reached that final
stage of development to which the Greeks
came in Socrates and Pluto, and the Ro-
mans in Marcus Aurelius. 1t may be true
that some of the eighteenth century
writer's have reached as near perfection
as it is possible to get, but if Mr.. Panin
will read some of the epistolsry efforts
Of one Of the representatives from Cook
county,h he will admit that the "Represents-
tive American" God bless usD is long
ways from that final stage of development
of which he speaks.

only have the power to fix the price OF
wages, but the power to fix the price on
the products of labor. By pools, syndi-
Gates and combinations every dollar that
can be drained from the public is extort-
ed, aud wages are reduced to living ba-
sis, and to miserable, beggsrly living at
that. The sooner the laboring men of the
country sdopt the proposed plan Of the
Louisiana Knights and take the whip
from the hands Of their task-masters the
better. The laboring men are slow, but
they are learning.

What 8 Citizen of FL Paso Has to Say Of
San Diego.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
Ell PAso, TEX Nov. 20, 1887-C. c.
Shelton, well known citizen OF this city,
went to San Diego, Cal, to engage in
business. He has just returned thorough
ly disguised, and gives a doleiul account
of the much doomed town. He gives the
result of his observations as follows :
There are world of people there, but no
real estate transactions of any account
have occurred in the past thirty days. 1t
is z cheap and poorly built town, and no
foundations are put under the buildings
and no mortar is used. Houses are sim
ply tackled and thro Vn together. Vege-
tables and fruits of fine quality are exhib-
tied there that were grown in other psrts
of the state. Chickens are Werth 81 90
apiece, and all eggs, butter and the water
they drink are imported. The real estate
offices, of which there is one in every
hui ding, have water in twenty feet cool
ers, but it is imported to
catch trade. On Orange eve
nue., the much boosted boulevard
they have imported orange trees, set out
with oranges On tnem, which are eXhio-
tied to strangers as native growth. There
are st lesst three thousand people there
who, if taken by the heels and turned
upside down, three dollars apiece could
not be shaken out of them. Cinnamon
are rapidly taking the place Of white Ia
borers, and any number of mechanics are
out OF employment. Carpenters wages
have oeen reduced from 81 to SIS so.
Every San Diego business man owns lots
in Coronado Beach, and e big scheme is
now being put up to catch eastern people
by unloading in January. The drtiest
country in the world and more fleas than
drops of wster in the bay. Take up lot
of sand in your two hands and most
of it will jump out. He met, perhaps,
100 Texans there who sayIthey will be glad
to get back to the Lone Star state. A
number of Ell Psso people are there who
would be glad to have the money they put
in San Diego real estate in their pockets
once more. He believes it the duty OF
Texas newspapers to try to keep our peo-
pie from being swindled by California
shsrpers. All this and great deal more
Mr.. Shelton has to ssy ABOUT California.

LABoR'S SENSIBLE PROGRAMME

LABOR'S SENSIBLE PROGRAMME.
The District Assembly of Knights of
Labor. the headquarters of which is In
New Orleans, has passed series of reso-
lutions denouncing Governor McEnery
for his action in calling out the state mil
tia, st the suggestion of scme members
of the Sugar Planters Association, and
before any military or peace officer had
made demand for military assistance.
The Knights claim that the four laborers
killed were peaceable and law-abidipg,
and that their killing was assassination.
The charges they file are numerous, and
will all furnish SUI iects for Investigation
by the grand juries of the various par
ishes, but there is one passage in the
resolutions of more significance than any
declaration which has emanated from a
LABOR organization in many day. After
reciting the facts in the case, the resolu-
ton warns the planters that unless dis
position is manifested by their organize
ton to make more equitable division of
the products OF the soil, and the bounties
of q generous government that brides in
dustry with a protective tariff, the
Knights would devote their time and
direct their energies towards securing
the abolition of the tariff on sugar. There
may be nothing in the resolutions outside
of this one idea, and but little may come
from it, but it is a Cause of no little won
der that it has not found its way into the
minds of the lsboring masses long ago,
and that its adoption has not given direc
ton to their actions. No people on earth
ought to know better than the lsborers
themselves, that protective tariff protects
only the monopolists, and that 1t serves
only to give greater power and strength
to the iron hand Of oppression. No peo-
pie have been taught In such severe
school, that the greater immunities en-
joyed by the monopolist and the greater
The returns upon his investment, the more
arbitrary, exscting. and tyrannical he be-
|
comes-his avarice thrives on, and urges
his cruelty, and his cruelty finds import
ant victims in those who toll from day to
day for pittance, and who must go forth
penniless whenever they incur the auto
Gratis displeasure. The foolish idea that
wsges in any productive industry are reg
ulated by the profits accruing to those
who furnish the capital is not likely to
soon be dissipated, but, now that the
fsct that all the wealth and power
which flows into the pockets of the few,
is used to wiring from the masses great
er task, and lpfiict upon them 8 greater
serfdom, is becoming part of the wis
dom of the laboring masses, and that
they are being aroused to q sense of their
own power over the legislation of the
country by proper and constitutional
use of the ballot, there is hope that the
myth, "protection to the laboring
masses," may be cleared away without
being directly attacked. What is true in
Louisiana is true In Pennsylvania, and
what is true in the Pennsylvania mines,
is true in the manufacturing districts OF
the east. A protective tarif taxes the
people for the benefit Of those who not

A Northern California Forest.

Here the trees, of gigantic proper
tons, grew in such close cOntiguity
that it seemed battle for life through
lack of space; and the trail l followed
narrowed until horse and rider had
barely room to pass between the trees.
The outspreading branches, interlock-
cd in inextricable ENHANCEMENT, form
ed solid canopy of foliage, exclud-
ing sunshine and light-so impene-
trable that it was useless for me to
gaze up toward the heavens, or even
to guess the time of day. from the posi-
ton of the sun. or from any glimmer
of its rays. Not carrying q watch,
and 'accustomed to tell the time by the
length of the shadows, 1 became
anxious from my inability even to
guess at the time of day, and feared
from the darkness of my surroundings
that the sun must be descending far
toward the horizon. But after a
couple of hours of painful anxiety, 1
at length emerged from the dark,
dense, and depressing forest, to find
myself once more under the blue
canopy of a California sky, and the
sun with five hours left to reach its
resting-place in the west. = Overland

How Much of Russia the Jews own.

A commission has been for several
years past occupied in Russia with in
quiries as to the number OF Jews, and
especially as TO their position as land
holders, with view to contemplated
legislation on the subject. Some re-
suits of the investigation have lately
been published. According to the
census statistics of 1881 relating to
sixteen governments of the south and
west of the empire there were $780,
$50 Jews of both sexes in total popu-
latiOn of %, 900, 000-i. G., at the rate
of Ill per cent. The Hebrew element
is most largely represented in Lithu-
ania and White Russia, and least in
Little Russia. In Minsk it is as one in
five, while in Khafkov the proportion
is one to 300
In general the Jews prefer to settle
in villages, OF in towns which are not
seats of government. A striking 'ex-
ample of their preponderanoe is shown
in the hamlets of the Troki district
(Wilna), where they form 80 per cent.
of the population. Regarding their
position as owners or occupiers of land
in the aforementioned provinces,
which contain 137, 00O, 600 acres in all,
it appears that they have purchased
10000 acres from the mobiles since
1861, and they hold 5,25o,0 900 acres as
tenant farmers. These lands they do
not cultivate themselves, but let or
sublet them, as the case may be, in
small lots tc the peasants of neighbor-
ing villages Their profits rs middle
men have hitherto been very large.
There are instances in Bessarabia,
Volhynia, and Kherson of extensive
districts hired by them at from one
third to two roubles an acre, and relet
in small lots at four to five roubles
per acre.
In Bessarabia they have obtained
long leases Of agricultural land be-
longing to some foreign converts,
which they have sublet in some cases
for twenty-five roubles per faltcha, a
local measure equal to nearly acres.
In Podolia almost all the large estates
situated in the basins of the affiuents
of the Dniester are held by Jews at
long terms. The system of agricul-
ture pursued under these new masters
is found to he no better than that of
other classes of land spectators. The
soil is exhausted after five or ten years
cropping, and it is not to he wondered
at that within the last decade there
has been fall of thirty per cent in
the value of landed propcrty.-Loadon
